Document Summary
Herodotus and thucydides are the two main historians. Prehistoric periods are periods where we don"t have historic documentation. We may have archeological information about prehistoric periods but no documentation. 776 bc marks the beginning of the archaic period and was the first. Chronological divisions tend to be divided into threes. Stone, bronze, and iron ages are divided by technological advances. These major ages are divided further into threes again. Early iron ages are considered dark ages, not well understood historically or archeologically** Doric invasion and ionian migration are legends about the dark ages, but was documented in later ages* Classical period on greek history is the zenith of greek history, kind of like the most importantly period in their history. Hellenistic period is thought as the decline of the classical period more than a period itself. Arthur evans applied the division of bronze age. Neoloithic period is where we begin to see agriculture and domestication of animals.
